AMD All Set To Capture 10% of the Total Server CPU Market by 2020, Report Indicates – Will Secure More Deals With 7nm EPYC CPUs Due To Strong Price / Performance Leadership
Cloud providers such as Amazon are continuously investing more EPYC platform rather than Intel Xeon CPUs.
Japan-based NTT Data will also be procuring datacenters with AMD EPYC processors. There’s also the upcoming Atos BullSequana XH2000 Supercomputer which will be using a total 3125 AMD EPYC Rome 7nm processors with around 200,000 cores and 400,000 CPU threads and is expected to finish by 2020.
AMD looks to be in a really good position with their EPYC server processors, even more so than their desktop and mobility portfolios.
AMD decided (years ago) to compete in the CPU market first. Probably did not expect to do this well. But, Intel had unexpected issues with 10nm. Meanwhile, AMD took a chance and jumped past 10nm to 7nm. This Summer, we'll see how well that worked out for gamers.
